Some movies are considered a journey rituals, from watching Star Wars: New Hope For the first time to Dying hard, A whole genre of films is so transcendent that they are a building block of our culture. Then there is another genre of film that was so traumatic to a generation that they want to cause that same pain on their children, and here we find it The story neverending. My daughterand Bridge to terabita. Between the two, there is one film, an iconic childhood fantasy film that delights and traumates equally, and is available on today’s tobi: Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory.
Performance always Gene Wilder
Starring the legendary Wilder Gene in one of its greatest roles that can never be covered, Willy Wonka Tells the timeless story of Charlie Young (Peter Ostrum) and his father -Cu Joe (Jack Albertson), who can tour the magical chocolate factory. They join are a series of children and parents who may be the most annoying characters ever gathered in one film. Although the factory itself is bright, colorful, and amazingly, after all, there is a whole river of chocolate, soon becoming a nightmare as the misbehavior children are punished ironically, one by one, from falling into the chocolate river to zoom into a grotesque human lace.
Indeed, Willy Wonka A terrifying man, and thankfully, Gene Wilder deviates into this with his absurd performance, over the top as the owner of the factory who has to live in fear of a visit from Osha. Then the Oompa-Loomcas turns up to sing a song and clean their boss’s mess, and while some are definitely catchy, leading to the ditty on TV for the small Mike, there is something about the unexplained orange men. But what is really a nightmare stimulating is the chilling boat journey, along with psychedelic lights and strange, nonsensical images flashing across the scene as it is, quite rightly, described as a “freak out.”
Prepared, imitated, but never exceeded
Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory been satisfied and referred so often in the 54 years since its release in 1971 until even those who have not seen the iconic original know the story. Fans can argue if Futurama had the best parody with “frying and the slurm factory” or if Guy family’s “Wasting talent,” but it is impossible to escape references to Wonka and the Oompa LoomCas. It is such an iconic film, that no one dared to touch it, and then, in 2005, Tim Burton released for decades Charlie and the chocolate factory star Johnny DeppAnd if nothing else, it only proved perfect that the first movie is perfect.
Burton tried to reveal too much about Willy Wonka’s past, a mistake corrected with the prequel, Wonkastarring Timothee Chalametwho managed to capture a small part of the whim and wonder of the original. Although the re -making and the prequel were successful, neither could replace the perfect performance of the film and Gene Wilder 1971. Unfortunately, one of the film’s biggest critics was Roald Dahl, the author of the book Charlie and the chocolate factoryDid it reject the songs, the finale, and, worse, the emphasis on Wonka over Charlie.
Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory may not be as traumatic as The story neverending Kill Artax or My daughter Macauley Culkin’s murder, who can’t see without his glasses, with bees, but the boat’s journey, in particular, has been quoted as one of the most terrifying moments in a children’s film. What other films are trying to do by offset scary moments with incredible moments of delight was, like Wilder’s performance, perfected by the 1971 film, which is why it has remained a classic to this day and is considered to be required to be watched. Now it’s easier than ever for anyone to get into the world of imagination, where the youngest of viewers will learn the most important lesson of all filmmaker: you can’t repeat a perfect film, and no prequel is never needed.
